  1. What interests me is that as someone who sweats profusely, the mesh could be a lot cooler, and also I could rinse it under water after a skate and it would dry real quick after.
  2. The thing that annoys me about Reddit is the crowd mentality that kills off any new challenging ideas. Anyone comment about not using a short paddle with a trigger grip, prolaces with super stiff thighsrises is going to get downvoted immediately.
  3. Craigslist: Missed Connections
  4. Quebec City is nicer than Ottawa for sightseeing, but also since you are coming for when the leaves are turning, going up north to Mont Tremblant (closer to Montreal - https://www.tremblant.ca/mountain-village) or Algonquin/Chelsea (really close to Ottawa) for a hike would be nice too.
  5. As a Montrealer that moved to Ottawa, I believe the correct term is Ottaweenies
  6. I'm curious on how it's attached as well. You know one thing I noticed while looking at my kid's Chesty that's now too small, how I could cut up the parts and source it to beef up my own chesty (it sells for only about 50~80$ CAD). And looks wise, they are the same color and model so it would look stock haha.
  7. I didn't get to because the shop didn't have any my size and could not tell me with certainty when they could get more and then I forgot about it. I'm looking at getting the new Aegis padded shirts though. Have you looked at that?
  8. Yeah I would find that bothersome and it's been one fluke occurrence in ever
  9. I bought my kid a Vaughn (V9?) one recently and saw that there was a small inner thigh padding. I remember I have gotten hit there once on a scramble and it hurt like a B.
  10. I forgot to mention that my steels on my old skates are from Tydan prostock, they are quite good. I had gotten two, and used the old stock one as an emergency pair.
  11. From what I remember BladeTech is very different, and it's a very much a either you love it or hate it type of deal. My kid uses non-DLC JRZ as a 2nd set and it seems to hold up well compared to his stock. I got my spare blades lightly used from SLS for a great price, if you are patient, maybe you could find yours there. What size are you anyway? I have a couple of Size 9/280 that I might be selling.
  12. Yeah the pants not having a sock tab is a non-starter for me unfortunately.

    Learning to skate..

    I'm not a fast skater on player skates, but I consider myself a very good skater in terms of agility and leaning on my edges. Having played out for most of my life helped tremendously when I transitioned to playing a goalie. Learn all you can.
  14. Yeah I won't comment on specifics because JF wholeheartedly apologized and explained what happened, but the matter is more or less resolved for now.
  15. Kaskisuo and wife with the CCM Axis XF Pro
  16. Has anyone heard of him in the past few or has a way of contacting him? I know he's always busy but he's not answered my questions or sent final proof of design like he said he would on July 26th. I'm actually supposed to meet with him today to drop off my mask because I am headed to Montreal, but he's been radio silent since July 26th and I'm not sure what to do.
  17. I really like the idea of the top and I’ll be getting one for the right price, I wish the bottoms had Velcro tabs for socks.
  18. I'd rather we not get into it and get off topic. We've said what we wanted to say and now let's move back to the EF6.
  19. Yeah I mean that's another thing, he seems to place a lot of effort in one area of concern.
  20. I take all reviews with a grain of salt, but lately I find myself putting less stock into what Hockeyreviews says because of how subjective and hyperbolic against whatever doesn't work for him and his game. Even on his CCM 581 Reddit post, when people give opposing opinions, he seems to get pretty defensive and talk about his sources which I mean could be anything.
  21. For Halloween, they drop pucks and then you get candy based on the result.
  22. Ok so I wrote to him and he responded —- Hi John, The decision to shut down Coveted was simply due to my business partner and myself parting ways. He is leaving the goalie mask industry and I will stay with an all-new company, new shop and some new mask designs. Yes, I will still have all the same parts available and will honour any Coveted Mask warranty and service issues. www.apexgoalie.com is in the works and coming soon. —-
  23. In the stock retail version, are the arms sewn in or laced in?
  24. Saw this on Instagram that they will be shutting down soon. Real sad to hear this. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv2UnyFpipc But from the looks of it, it might be that Ron is moving on to a new Mask venture at https://apexgoalie.com/
